Dear Prospective Members:

Thank you for considering becoming a member of Young Israel-Ezras Israel of Potomac (“YIEIP”).

YIEIP offers superb tefillah with decorum, a well run youth department, a wide variety of weekly shiurim including hosting two area kollels, and a beautiful facility. Our congregation is demographically diverse, and members treat one another with respect. Our Rav, Rabbi Yosef Singer, is approachable, innovative and energetic, and offers tremendous Rabbinic leadership.

Becoming full members of our warm and friendly shul includes paying annual dues ($900 for couples/families, $500 for singles). Our family membership rate is the lowest of any shul in Potomac. Individuals who are already members of another synagogue in the community may become associate members for $300. We are the only shul in Potomac to offer an associate member category. Additional membership categories are available for those who would like and are able to contribute more. We do not have a formal building fund requirement but encourage those who are able to contribute to the building to contact us about dedication opportunities. YIEIP would not exist without its members. Membership dues cover close to half of the shul’s operating costs. Becoming a member of YIEIP carries many benefits. Members receive reduced pricing for High Holiday Seats, Facility Rentals, Burial Plots, Shabbatonim and other programs. Members also receive a subscription to the award winning Viewpoint magazine.

It is our policy not to turn anyone away because of finances. If you are interested in becoming a member of our shul but need reduced dues, please contact Rabbi Singer at (240) 603-8622 or RavSinger@gmail.com , and we will do our best to work out a suitable arrangement for you and a confidential and dignified manner.

We would be grateful if you choose to make YIEIP your shul and join our family. Please contact Beth Shapiro at bethshap@gmail.com with any question and to request a membership application. Thank you for your consideration.
